If you are ad Amsterdam in the winter months you can do a ride on skates on the frozen canals of the city. Above all outside the historic center, there are many points where lakes and rivers freeze and give way to the creativity of the sport of ice skating.
Who has never read Silver skates and the heroine Gretel whizzing with her little skates? Here, among the 160 canals, skates are a valid alternative to cycle paths. Leave the rental of bicycles and concentrate on ice skating, a real alternative to the Dutch cold.
The park Amstelveenseweg in Amsterdam offers a huge track where you can rent equipment for € 5 per hour or € 15 for the whole day. Here you can spend the whole day taking a break at Caffè Vertigo which is right at the end of the park.
